More incentives needed for our athletes

The relevant authorities should pro-vide more rewards and incentives for Brunei Darussalam’s sportsmen and sportswomen who excel in international championships.

Even though our Wushu ladies bagged gold medals from the SEA Games, they only received a small incentive.

In Malaysia, the government would have given their athletes a free car or even a house. Perhaps the Brunei Darussalam National Olympic Council could look into this?

If we want to create international champions we must show them our gratitude by giving them appropriate rewards and incentives when they bring home gold, silver or bronze medals from international competitions.
